Recent stories featuring Janet Napolitano
Obama’s move on immigration and amnesty:
The Obama administration’s move on immigration reminded us we’ve looked into how to define amnesty.
Will the Feds make Texas a no-fly zone if legislators criminalize "groping" during airport pat-downs? Does purchasing an airline ticket buy you a background check? PolitiFact scanned these and other high-flying claims.
Truth-O-Meter patrols the border:
PolitiFact Georgia has you covered on homeland security.
The Obama administration trumpeted its reputation on border security recently, so last week, we checked claims about Transportation and Security Administration pat-downs and the border fence.
We also switched on our Deal-O-Meter to check whether Gov. Nathan Deal’s signature on Arizona-style immigration enforcement legislation means he kept a campaign promise.
